The gist of it seems to be that each file is stored as a series of binary chunks inside RethinkDB. [1]<p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/internalfx/regrid-spec#chunks-record" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/internalfx/regrid-spec#chunks-record</a>
This is the sort of interesting technology that RethinkDB makes possible. I'm the next months/years I think we'll see more projects that use Rethinkdvs scaling and realtime capabilities to make some very useful tools.
One nice thing about GridFS is that the spec is maintained by MongoDB and consistently implemented in all its major DB drivers.<p>Any plans to port this to other languages, or get the spec blessed by RethinkDB?
